Dear Tai,

I wanted to congratulate you once more on receiving this year’s Dream Builder award at LA Family Housing award night. In the days approaching the event, I began to think a lot more of my dearest Ruben and how I knew that he wanted to see you receive this well-deserved award, for the many years of dedication you have given our children’s program over the last 20yrs. He meant so much to you, and me and I was sad because I knew that he was not going to be there.  I was so delighted to see your introduction video. It touched my heart to hear you mention him, and talk so beautifully about him. I loved how you highlighted his work along with yours, and how it profoundly impacted the children that came through LAFH.

I had not heard his voice in so long and it brought tears to my eyes to hear him. His inclusion in the video meant a lot to me. You kept his memory alive, and I can’t thank you enough for this. For the first time since his passing, I felt him there that night. I felt him be happy and proud of your amazing accomplishments and to know that many people still think of him and love him so much. I thank you for doing this. It has profoundly touched my heart in more ways than how I could possibly express to you.  Words can’t express how meaningful this was to me….

 Thank you for everything!

    Our Mission

    A Chance for Children strives to empower at-risk youth by providing the opportunities to set goals and the tools to achieve them. We fight to instill the belief that no child is limited by their surroundings or upbringing. By encouraging dreams and consistently exposing them to new experiences outside the dangers and struggles of their daily lives each child will have a chance for a better future.
